Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Stolen And Returned"

apollo looked around the place, it wasn't what he was expecting at all

'So... what's this place?'

'This would be Mr. Eldoon's house, silly'

she said, he looked around the place, this is where he lived?!, apollo didn't want to judge to harshly, after all you never knew people's situations, but still

'Oh, so this is where his stand was stolen from. I can see a piece of evidence lying on the ground already'

trucy eyes widen as she tugged at his sleeve

'...Hey! Look, there's a police car parked over there'

apollo looked up from the crime scene, ..their was a police car here

'You're right... What's with the sparkly... entrance? What is this place? A hospital? There's a sign... "Meraktis Clinic"'

'Hmm... Oh! That's where the thief went!'

'The thief...?'

he asked

'The one who snatcked my panties! He ran into this clinic last night! Wait, maybe that police car is here to find my panties!'

'I doubt it'

he mumbled to himself a little, trucy however, stayed optimistic as ever

'Well, there's only one way to be sure! Let's investigate!'

suddenly, a voice from the distance spoke out to them, they both turned their heads to see eldoon

'Ah, there you are, sonny! Well, you find anything yet!?'

he shook his head

'Er, um, no. Not yet'

'The longer you loaf around here the saltier your victory bowl gets, just remember that!'

he warned them

"This bowl of noodles is sounding less like payment and more like punishment..."

apollo took out his notepad as they both him and trucy started to looked around, apollo couldn't help but wonder why their was a police car their anyway

'I'd understand if there was an ambulance outside... But a police car?'

'Maybe they're tax evaders!'

she guessed, the officer shook his head at them

'Ah, sorry miss. No going into the clinic today'

'Did something happen?'

she asked, the officer panicked as he shook his head

'Huh? Oh, no. Nothing to see here. Move along. You'll have to find someplace else to play doctor'

apollo got frustrated again at being called a kid

"Do we look like the right age to be playing doctor!?"

'We need a little more info on this Meraktis Clinic'

Trucy pondered to herself on what to do

'We could ask Mr. Eldoon. He is their neighbor and all. And we should check out that garage! What if the thief who stole my panties is still in there!?'

apollo sighed, but went over to eldoon to ask his questions

'So, your stand... "Eldoon's Noodles", was it?'

he nodded as he leaned in closer to his face

'Aye! Passed down from father to son. That stand's seen its share o' salt, mmm-hmm. Salt runs in the family, you might say'
